• Hotfix 2 patch #10 - 7 August 2026

  Bug squashing: Fixed aiming with the top-down camera. You can aim again — no more guessing Fixed crosshair display in top-down view. The reticle is back where it belongs Fixed a duplicate-subscription bug that made vehicle recoil grow worse over time. Recoil no longer trains like it’s in the gym Fixed loot from crates not dropping right away. Crates no longer need a moment to “think about it” Optimization: Updated the terrain loading system — map load times should be shorter Matched load and unload distances for terrain chunks. Camera-switch stutters from that should be gone

• Hotfix for patch #10 - 15 July 2026

  New Added a scrap metal system. Unlock the scrap metal tech in the research tree, then while driving around the world you’ll find scrap at loot spots with a 5% chance. Use it to upgrade your vehicles — each level permanently adds HP and armor. Soviet recycling: today a UAZ body panel, tomorrow +5 armor for your heart on wheels. Balance For the "Aerodynamic Tests" data, the max speed requirement was lowered from 100 to 50 km/h. Even the GAZ 69 can pretend to be a sports car now — just don’t say that out loud. Slightly increased grip on all surface types, because the GAZ 69 was handling like an iron. Disabled the rock generation system under the wheels. Light vibration of the wheels and chassis looks good when you’re flying over flat ground. But on rough terrain — with a swarm of hungry bugs behind you — it was just adding difficulty. The rocks went on a well-earned vacation. The bugs did…

• PatchNote #10 Bugs and Optimization - 14 July 2026

  Fighting bugs: Fixed a bunch of crashes. The “please don’t explode” button was found at last Fixed the cursor escaping the screen when opening the pause menu. No more jailbreaks Fixed bonus calculation errors in the garage. Math won… on the second try. Or the third. Whatever Fixed leaderboard display issues Optimization: Optimized game scene loading Optimized bug logic and animations. Now the bugs twitch faster than our deadlines Optimized trees, map objects, bullets, and bug spawning. Forests, fauna, and chaos are a bit kinder to your FPS UX: Reworked the layout of the technology reward panel Added hints and dimming for valid ingredients to cut down on “wait, that doesn’t go there” Added a quality setting for bug animations

Sounds: New music added for the hideout. Enjoy it at all spawn points! Interface: Social media links added to the main screen.
